Public hearing on bill to insure foster kids

Lawmakers this morning are scheduled to hold a public hearing on two bills related to health care. Bill 299, by Sen. Mike San Nicolas, D-Dededo, would provide health insurance coverage to the island's foster children by adding them to the annual insurance coverage for government of Guam workers. The insurance premiums for foster children would be paid by the government. The bill would require GovGuam insurance providers to cover foster children, with no deductible. Bill 308, by Sen. Dennis Rodriguez, D-Dededo, would change the membership of the Guam Memorial Hospital Authority board of trustees, adding a non-voting representative from the GMH Volunteers Association. The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. today at the Legislature's public hearing room in Hagåtña.
